Of course I did check the FAQ. Where do you think I find the idea of
using {SASL}? Note that this FAQ entry does not tell that {SASL} should
be followed by the login. Other FAQ entries that deal with SASL and
kerberos tell about using authz-regex or sasl-regex, it took me a while
to find a setup that actually works.
By the way, you told me the {SASL} scheme in userPassword was
deprecated. How this should be done, then? Or did I misunderstood your
statement?

In order to type that keywords in a search engine, one must already know
that the answer is about having the right thing in userPassword.

I'm not unwilling to learn, it's just that I already found the answer
for the problem about which I was telling my ftrustration. I'm sure
nobody want to loose time answering already resolved questions.

Now I'd by thankful to you if you could tell me why it's wrong, and what
is the right way of doing what I've done.
